  4. Re:No thank you on Adobe Pushing For Flash TVs · · Score: 1

    That probably means one of a few things:

    1. Your computer sucks rocks. 2. Your internet connection sucks rocks. 3. Your computer is infected with malware, which slows it down and makes it suck rocks. 4. You're using Norton, Trend, McAfee, or something which equally sucks rocks. 5. You have an old/insecure/unsupported/third-party flash player, which is currently trying to infect your computer with crapware, thereby sucking rocks.

    I've heard people complain about this before, and I've never seen it happen on my own computer, or on any other machine that's properly maintained, and doesn't have 99% of it's memory taken up by Internet Security Suites from you-know-who.

    Actually, I lie. I've seen it happen once on my computer. Once. It was a Youtube video, which was buffering, playing fine, and stopped loading about 2/3 of the way through. And you can tell that it's buffering or not, unless the player sucks. That's what the red line behind the play bar is on Youtube. It shows how much of the video is buffered. I haven't seen a player that doesn't have this feature.

    The one time it stopped playing on mine, it stopped just at the end of said red line. My guess is "Connection reset by peer" errors result in something like this happening.

    OK try this when you get a chance, go get yourself an X64 based Vista computer (2.5GHZ dual core, 4 GB of RAM, state of the art) install Flash_sux on it and go try playing anything on it.

  5. If Vista was made better!! on Microsoft Says No Profit In Vista-XP Downgrades · · Score: 1

    Damn, if people are paying to downgrade it tells a lot about the quality of the product, don't mean to take this discussion back to which OS is better but still it speaks a lot about Vista's under performance.

  6. The Trachtenberg speed system of basic mathematics on Mathematics Reading List For High School Students? · · Score: 1

    I loved the techniques and simplicity of complex math from this book, it is lot of fun and something to pick up for speed tests.

  8. Nokia 6030 on Where In the US Can You Get Just a Cell Phone? · · Score: 1

    Basic phone, great functionality, awesome battery life (lasts close to 10 days with full charge has 6+ hours talk time), no camera none of the bells and whistles, good reception. T-Mobile to-go phone is the way I acquired it because my motorola was just dying, costs like $30 you will also get a 1 hour talk time i think. Let me know if you need further help.

  11. 1 Million Users! on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wow, That is pretty huge scale but if Google, MSN and Yahoo have supported that many, and many more users all along open the back doors to see what they are doing? If it were me Linux obviously, Hi-Availability Clusters, some kind of solid indexing. Its still email :)
